Matt Willis: Fighting Addiction - the story behind the new BBC documentary and when it's on TV

Busted star Matt Willis is to open up about his battle with drugs and alcohol in a raw BBC documentary which airs this week.

The musician, 40, seemingly has it all; a successful career, a happy marriage to TV presenter Emma Willis and he's a doting dad to three children. But behind closed doors he has been fighting his addictions, working hard to stay clean and sober.

In the hour-long programme, Matt examines his history with substance abuse and talks about how he constantly lives in fear of relapse. His darker days will also be uncovered, as he meets fellow addicts and health experts to better understand the causes of addiction.
